Christopher Grant Wood

[Omar Devone Little]

Quite possibly yes but he rejected it

Which you can't really blame him for.

He's been in the game long enough to know we'd have a struggle on our hands to integrate virtually a brand new squad so chose the easy life topping up his pension with the Middle Eastern tax-free cash.

Doubt he regrets his decision now either.

 

[Harvey]

I'm pretty sure we offered Grabban a one-year deal, but he wanted longer to compensate for his potential Middle East earnings.

Quite possibly yes but he rejected it

Oh aye, I wasn't disputing that, I just think he could've done a job for us this season had he stayed

 

[FBS]

Hot take right here but I still think Grabban could've done a job for us this season one a one year deal

Not a hot take at all. I think you are completely correct.

Can you imagine Lewis Grabban in this side that defends on edge of it's own box for 80 minutes whilst whacking the ball to fast man to chase it when we get it back?

Chris Wood levels of uselessness.

 

[Berkshire Red]

Out for the season.

 

[DapperDan]

Out for the season.

Seriously?

 

[JohhnyM]

Chris Wood out for the rest of the season. Went on international duty with an injury and picked up an extra one for good measure. Not sure it's as good a piece of news as many might think.

 

[Haych]

Maybe we can go back to attempting to play some football now we can’t play Wood.

I hope his injury isn’t a bad one though, of course.

Its not ideal this, irrespective of what people think. It reduces our options off the bench for a start.

Not having the rub of the green with injuries are we, been ridiculous at best.

 

[Harvey]

As much as I think he's been shit for us I'd rather have him fit as an option than injured

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

Seriously?

Looks like it, being reported from a lot of sources.

 

[Squirrel55]

Questions need to be asked why so many injuries. Unbelievable.

Also, what a shit signing that turned out to be.

To be fair, Coops said in the press conference the injury to Wood (and also to Aurier, Ayew and Scarpa) all happened whilst they were away on international duty.

Its on the BBC website.

I'm not convinced that the NZ FA's insistance that Wood be assessed by their medics before allowing him to withdraw did him and us any favours.

There must have been concerns about his fitness at this end.

 

[Shearstone]

So Taiwo and Kouyate are back in full training and Wood is out. Not gonna lie that's a trade I would take any day.

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

Ridiculous.

That is 6 players with season ending injuries and a further 5 players who've been out 'most' of the season (i.e between 3 and 6 months).

11 players long term injuries.

 

[MASE]

what a shit signing that turned out to be.

Describe our season in one sentence.

 

[incapable hulk]

What a terrible signing this has turned into.

Hopefully in the summer Cooper can work in his preferred system and integrate Wood in a much better way.

 

[Franzy]

Describe our season in one sentence.

To be honest MASE, some of our signings (8 or 9) were good signings.

8 or 9 good signings out of 30 is NOT a good hit rate to be fair,

 

[TurfT]

Jeez, another one down! At least he got a free flight home.

 

[eyupmeduck]

I don't particularly like going in on our own players, nor am I wanting to come accross as pining for the loanees we had last season but honestly it mystified me that someone at the club decided not to sign big Keinan for £15m and to sign this guy for £15m.

I was hopeful with Wood, thought he'd be a cheap loan or signing that we could bring on to mix things up with 30 minutes left.

What in fact happened is we got a player who looks absolutely shot in terms of his mobility, a player who doesn't fit what we try to do in an attacking sense and ended up paying about £20m for the pleasure (plus some fat wages no doubt).

The business to bring him and Shelvey to club us up there with the signing of Harry Arter.

 

[Omar Devone Little]

Shaping up to be just about the worst signing in the club's history.
